Not clear to me why a pair of passenger seats would have priority forensic value at this point in the recovery process.
Seats (no word of passengers) were picked up as samples from different cabin parts (front, middle, rear), then mostly for structural impact analysis rather than forensic evidences. (if I understood that correctly from the BEA press conf.)
